Maddie has been doing Pioneer Girls this year, and she has been absolutely loving it. They had a Father Daughter Dinner this weekend, and she was able to do a fun date with her daddy, which she also absolutely adored. And my heart was melting all over the place.
It reminded me of all the Father Daughter Dances I did with my dad growing up for Girl Scouts, and how special those were. I loved the themes and getting all dressed up, going to dinner {usually Olive Garden, because when you're 8, that's the fanciest you can imagine haha}, dancing the night away with my daddy and friends, and we usually ended the night with a frozen yogurt parfait at TCBY. The best nights :)
So now, watching Maddie get all excited about getting dressed up, helping her curl her hair, letting her borrow a fancy purse, and watching her beam with excitement as her daddy opened her car door as they headed off for their night of fun...I hope it's a special memory she always remembers.
This one was also special because Grandma and Papa were also here to see her off. I also love that her brothers were so excited to cheer her on and tell her how beautiful she looked.
As is typical whenever she comes back from Pioneer Girls, she was overflowing with energy and excitement, spilling out her words so fast because she is just so happy to share all of the fun she had. She talked about the yummy dinner and cake, and about the dancing and limbo and the conga line. She talked about the talk that Mr. James gave, and she just couldn't wait until next year :)
My. heart. just. can't. take. it.
